23rd January 2015
At this year's Winter NAMM show VSL is showing the Vienna Solo Voices and Vienna Whistler vocal libraries, which were released in December 2014. Additionally, visitors will have the opportunity to test-drive Vienna's software products and listen to the entire arsenal of virtual orchestral instruments in various acoustic spaces and settings. The presentation stage is hosted by Vienna's American distributor, ILIO, at booth #6724 in Hall A of the Anaheim Convention Center.
Expressiveness of the Human Voice
Vienna Solo Voices covers the complete range of the human voice with four female voices (coloratura soprano, soprano, mezzo soprano, alto) and three male voices (tenor, baritone, bass). The Full Library comes with over 55,000 samples and includes staccatos, sustains and legato performances of the vowels "A" (aah) and "U" (ooh) in four dynamic levels as well as various staccato repetitions (such as "ta", "pa", "ra", "sa" etc.), sforzatos, crescendos, diminuendos, trills and glissandos. A special introductory price ($430 for the Full Library, normally $540) is available through January 31, 2015.
Vienna Whistler is a single instrument available for just $61 and features whistled single notes in various lengths and articulations (staccato, portato, looped sustains), with and without vibrato, legato performances, portamentos, repetitions and even trills, bends and falls.
Both vocal products are powered by Vienna's proprietary Vienna Instruments/Vienna Instruments Pro sample player.
Bundle Savings and new Complementary Discounts
The new Voices Complete bundle includes both new vocal products as well as the previously existing Vienna Choir and Soprano Choir at a special bundle price. What's more, with the company's new complementary discount system, existing users of Vienna Choir and/or Soprano Choir will get a credit for their registered products when purchasing Voices Complete. The new complementary discount system applies to all Bundles, including the Vienna Special Edition Bundles and the Vienna Software Package. Users who have already purchased and registered one or more Collections may complete the corresponding bundle at a discounted rate. The same principle works for Collections that include separately available instruments and ensembles.
